  • Cheating on exams. Consulting others or using any material which is not permitted on the exam.
  • Copying material from some source, such as the Internet or books, and presenting it as you own solution or design when asked to solve a problem yourself.
  • Attempt to change an already graded assignment and asking for re-grading of that material.
  • Attempts to fabricate the submission date/time of a late assignment to make it appear like an on-time submission.
  • Stealing some other student's solution or program.
  • Submitting solutions prepared by the TAs and the instructors during the prior years of the course offering.
  • Purchasing a solution for your assignment from someone.
Any case of cheating or scholastic misconduct will immediately result in an F GRADE . Additionally, the matter would be forwarded to the Departmental Scholastic Misconduct Committee.
